That does seem a bit daft!

Re: 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet
Wow, this is gonna be fun to watch. However; I've always found that the Hornet is one of the hardest jets to build and get right... at least for me. That's why I was surprised to see you start one. Hey; whatever works to get the mojo going is all right with me!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Re: 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet
Thanks guys! The Hornet is one of my favorite aircraft so I have lots of them in the stash. So how about a double bug build?

I have a Hasegawa F/A-18D and "F", a Kinetic "C", and an Italeri EA-18G in the stash. And of course these two. I also did a Revell 1/72 F/A-18F a while back.

Got both seats built up. Working on other sub-assemblies.

Re: 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet
Great idea for a dual build! Those seats look good!
